OPENING PRAYER
Lord, here I am. Come close to me as a mother quickly rises to soothe her baby. – Rachel
THE REFRAIN
My soul waits, more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. Psalm 130:6 ESV
THE WORD OF GOD/A READING
Psalm 46 ESV
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, through the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire.
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
THE REFRAIN
My soul waits, more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. Psalm 130:6 ESV
